The Smoking Gun website has released a recent article that outlines Donald Trump’s lack of charitable contributions compared to other billionaires and in doing so, they revealed the pay his charity organization received for his work with the WWE. Trump’s tax returns showed that the Donald J. Trump Foundation received $4 million for Donald Trump’s participation in the 2007 WrestleMania program when Vince McMahon got his head shaved after the Umaga/Bobby Lashley match. The foundation got another $1 million for his work in 2009 when Trump "bought" the WWE and sold it back to Vince McMahon (all storyline and not actually true). It’s an interesting read and can be found on www.thesmokinggun.com.
